"There are very real poisons like heavy metals and soot belched into the soil and air by industry and I for one don't want to breathe or ingest them."

Now THIS is what I'm really complaining about... This statement indicts "industry" and convicts the industrial element as the bad people that cannot do what they do without hurting everyone and you, Williams, by gum, you're gonna place yourself firmly on the very pinacle of EnvironMental JUSTICE!!!

So you can NEVER be impugned like you are impugning the industrious perpetrators of pollution for the evil curse of profit!!!

You know, you jump to an awful lot of conclusions. Somehow the statement that there are industrial pollutions and that some substances need to be controlled - became a statement that all industry is guilty of pollution, profits are evil, and all industry must be banned. I never said or thought such things, why are you so defensive? I know the environmental movement at large is a bunch of leftist idiots. But I also know the communist countries, which had no environmental controls, became soot laden wastelands which poisoned their people en masse. I'm perfectly happy to take a middle approach in an effort to reduce some pollution while encouraging industry to operate.
